I liked Hoffman as Captain Hook...hmm wonder if that would qualify him as a good voice for a dragon.

I don't know... I see (er... hear?) Smaug as having a very deep, rumbling, yet articulate, mellifluous voice.

Or... wait a minute! What about Sean Connery? He's already done a dragon and I think he did a fairly good job of it, regardless of how the movie turned out.

Okay Sean Connery Has yet to make a movie I like League of extradinary Gentlmen was good in Spite of him!

If he does Smaug I'll turn into Dauby and smack my head into a wall

You didn't like "The Molly Maguires"? And he was the best James Bond there ever was.
But I digress...
How about Brian Blessed? If he's still vertical.

The more I think about it, the more I like the suggestion of Connery as Smaug. At first I thought his voice is a little too distinctively Scottish, whereas I had always heard Smaug's as more of an upper class English accent. But Connery's voice does have a certain mellifluence and the, for lack of a better word, gravitas that I think Smaug needs.

Brian Blessed is a good voice actor but he strikes me as a little too big and booming for Smaug.

Thumbs up

Okay, Connery it is. I'll have my people call his people.
We'll do lunch.
